The Art of Tearing, with Photoshop

Insight from Adobe

Making a ripped paper edge in your artwork may help add a layer of mystery in your art.

Here are the quick and simple steps to creating the appearance of torn paper with Adobe Photoshop:

1. Tear it: Use the Lasso (L) tool to draw the jagged edge across your art.
   

2. Show what’s left: Apply a layer mask to hide the area not selected.
   

3. New layer: Add a new layer to serve as the simulated paper edge.
   

4. Fill it: Select the paper edge layer and use the Paint Bucket (G) to fill the new layer with white.

5. Get Edgy: Use the Move tool to bring the paper edge up.

6. Make it Real: Use the Warp tool to customize the shape of the ripped edge.

7. Add Depth: Select the paper edge layer and use the Paint Bucket (G) to fill the new layer with white.

8. Texture it: Drag a textured image to the new layer just above the Paper edge layer. Then use the option (Alt) key to clip paper texture to the paper edge.

9. Drag it: Drag a contrasting picture into the image and move the layer to the bottom to complete the composition.
